Our story · Golf coaching in Derbyshire
Founded by Academy Director
Will Painter
Evolution Golf Academy was founded around one simple belief: golfers need more than another swing change to make lasting improvement.
Founder and Academy Director Will Painter spent more than 15 years playing golf at an elite level, representing England Golf and winning multiple professional events. But throughout his own development, he experienced the same frustration many golfers face, putting in the hours, taking lessons and working hard on his swing, without always creating the lasting change he was looking for.
Over time, Will began to understand that improving a golf swing isn’t just about what the club is doing. It’s about understanding why you swing the way you do in the first place.
How your body moves, the physical capabilities you have available and the way you practise all influence the changes you’re able to make.
Will founded Evolution to bring those areas together. Rather than golfers moving between a golf coach, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Physiotherapist with no clear connection between them, Evolution brings the right coaches together around one pathway, led by your PGA Professional.
THE TURNING POINT
Understanding the
Swing-Body Connection.
At Evolution, we assess how your body moves and how it influences your golf swing. Understanding this connection helps us build a clearer picture of why you swing the way you do, why previous swing changes may not have lasted, and what you need to make lasting improvements.
From there, your PGA Professional leads the pathway, working alongside our Strength & Conditioning Coach and Physiotherapist where needed, giving you the coaching and physical support required to make those changes happen.

How we can help you improve.
Every golfer is different, which is why every journey at Evolution begins with
understanding both your golf swing and how your body moves. Rather than guessing
why you're struggling, we assess, identify and build a clear plan for improvement
Step 1 - Understand your golf swing
Advanced PGA Professional Assessment.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive golf swing assessment with one of our Advanced PGA Professionals. Using TrackMan technology, video analysis, 3D data and our coaching experience, we assess how you currently move the golf club, how the golf ball behaves and, most importantly, what is preventing you from reaching your goals.
During your Golf Swing Assessment, we’ll identify:
Your current ball flight tendencies
The swing characteristics limiting your performance
Your biggest opportunities for improvement
Whether your current swing matches your goals
Whether the limitations appear to be technical, physical or a combination of both
This gives us a clear understanding of your golf swing and provides the foundation for the next stage of your assessment.
Step 2 - Understand your body
TPI Movement Screen.
Your golf swing is only part of the picture. To create lasting improvement, your body must be capable of producing the movements your coach is asking you to make.
Our TPI Movement Screen assesses your mobility, stability, balance and overall movement quality to identify any physical limitations that could be affecting your golf swing or preventing long-term improvement.
During your TPI Movement Screen, we’ll identify:
Any mobility or stability restrictions affecting your swing
Movement patterns limiting your performance
Physical limitations that may be preventing swing changes
Areas that could improve power, consistency and efficiency
Whether further support from a fitness professional or physiotherapist would benefit your development
By combining your PGA Professional Swing Assessment with your TPI Movement Screen, we build a complete understanding of both your golf swing and your body’s ability to support it.
STEP 3 - SUPPORT NEEDED FOR LASTING CHANGE
Fitness Specialists.
After understanding your golf swing and assessing your movement to establish yourswing–body connection, we have the support in place when needed to improve your movement capabilities and make you a more coachable golfer.
No more hours beating balls with little result. You’ll have the tools and support you need to makelasting change not only possible, but easier.
How can our Fitness Specialists help:
Golf specific clinical treatment
Understand why injuries flare up and play pain free
Improve restrictions holding back your golf
Receive a golf specific exercise programme
Improve physical capabilities to reach your goals
Improve longevity and play for longer
This gives us a clear understanding of your golf swing and provides the foundation for the next stage of your assessment.
